Triple Screens and Cord Free [Featured Workspace]
In: Coding
10 Jan 2010
Cord free might be a tiny exaggeration, but today’s featured workspace has cords that are so well managed they might as well not even be there.
Lifehacker reader R1P5AW has a simple but tidy workspace. You’ll be hard pressed to see so much as a single cord on his triple Dell monitors. He used black foam pipe-insulation to keep the cords tightly managed and out of sight behind the monitors. Complimenting the “Where are the cords?” motif of his workspace, his keyboard and mouse are wireless, resting on a spacious XTRAC XXL mouse pad. Check out the pictures below to see how he keeps the cords out of sight:
If you have a workspace of your own to show off, throw the pictures on your Flickr account and add it to the Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Pool. Include some details about your setup and why it works for you, and you just might see it featured on the front page of Lifehacker.

I think the black foam insulation is better in a habitable space – I don't like the thought of the glass fibers floating around. The foam can also be easily painted to match the walls or ceiling.

I've never used something for music collaboration, but Crossloop has been praised by my friends when I've needed a remote desktop solution. Hope this helps.

You have made a good selection.
I would recommend against AMD (having build many systems) because AMD processors are generally slower, and they waste much more power. For example, the Core 2 Duo Intel processors generally use 1/3 the wattage as an equivalent AMD. Thus, even if you save a few dollars on the AMD up front, you will lose out long term.
Then you have to deal with the fact that the VIA and AMD drivers are typically flakey relative to the Intel ones.
Unless you are saving hundreds, it is NOT worth it. The Intel Core 2 Duos are the best deal on the market right now, enjoy them. They also overlock like the cat's meow.
